US plans inaugural meeting of Trump's 'Board of Peace' the meeting is intended in part to be a fundraiser
The Trump administration is planning its first meeting of the “Board of Peace” this month in Washington, according to a US official and a diplomat from an invited country, as the multinational organization tasked with resolving global conflicts faces lingering questions about its broader mission.
The US sent invites for the February 19 event on Friday, according to an invitation seen by CNN. It is slated to be held at the US Institute of Peace, which President Donald Trump has renamed after himself.
The board, chaired by Trump, was originally pitched as a limited body tasked with overseeing the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, which was devastated by the Israel-Hamas war. However, according to the charter draft, its mission has since expanded to tackle conflicts the world over. The draft, which was sent along with the invitations to join, does not even reference Gaza.
The US official said the meeting is intended in part to be a fundraiser but stressed that details are still being worked out. CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.
